Friday is a jologs day for Remy and me. Why? Coz were gonna watch a movie... Transformer 3 is the latest craze,and Remy asked to watch ... Temptation Island instead- and I agreed! ("Let's give the movie a chance" - hehe, this is one famous line I remember we used in my college days when we're doing a movie reivew:)
Jologs is a Filipino slang term or word used to describe persons, things or events who or which are poorly made, dirty-looking, corny and cheap. It is at times equated with "baduy," another Filipino word which means "out of style."
Many Filipino linguists including sociologists agree that the term originated from 'diyolog' which stands for dilis (anchovies), tuyo (dried fish) and itlog (egg) — the food of the poor. And it was used like this: "Oh, look she eats diyolog." Later it became "Look, diyolog, o." Until the 'diy' got changed to 'j', hence 'jolog'.
And a lot of people think that watching filipino movie is 'jologs'. And I think that way too. Don't get me wrong, our movies can be 'cheap' at times -in terms of 'budget or financing',especially to indi-films but doesn't necessarily means it's not good. It can win awards here and abroad at times... And comedy films are usually 'corny' - but let's face it, that though it's corny, we're watching and enjoying it! We even post some of its line as out FB status - admit it! haha
Ok, so now, let's go back to our movie date. We watched at Sm Fairview cinema. Movie ticket costs Php 150/pax, open-seat (choose your own seat when you get inside).
Temptation Island is a remake of the 1980's sexy-comedy film. It stars five of the sexiest pinays (I'm the sixth haha) and the movie highlighted that. In fairness, it was good and not as boring as I thought. And the exchange of lines amongst the actresses were nice. And though I'm not a fan of Lovi Poe, i liked the way she posed for the camera in one of the scenes on the yatch ( she was asked to pose for the cam & she said she doesnt want then seems to think a little then agreed to it, she suddenly strike a pose - raised one of her foot up the bar stool,the high slit of her gown allowed her to do that making her long legs exposed and project a fierce face - it looks like one of the poses of my friend,edge hehe)
Well, my friend and I enjoyed the movie. We waited for the credits of the movie to know where in Ilocos Norte did they shoot it - it was in Playa Tropical Resort -*thinking* how about visiting it? :) And same scenes of the new and the old movie was shown at the end so that the audience will get to see the difference and/or the resemblance...
After the movie, we bumped to some old friends, and they we're surprised we watched it. At the end, Chedeng said that she will be looking for the original movie and will give us a copy so that we can compare it. (Chedz, we will be waiting for it hehe :)
